Emile Level deadends on Rue de Jonquiere and take a <BR/>left so you are heading northwest. There is a tiny Almondienere <BR/>there . If you get to a main thorough fare, you went too far. Turn <BR/>around and look again.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure I'm not spelling the name of the confection correctly. It has the very best almond based confections on this earth. This is <BR/>the outlet for a shop which seems to be family owned, and it <BR/>apparently mostly sells to hotels. I have seen marzipan there with <BR/>the blush painted on each grape! Peaches blush as do apples. Their <BR/>flavorings are very subtle but there is none of that rather floury <BR/>taste you get from American marzipan. The non-marzipan almond <BR/>confections are exhuberant!<BR/><BR/>For a nice lunch, head back on Jonquiere.

I like to the feel of the paper in my hands, the broad overview, the tiny lines indicating tiny roads and big bold lines for the interstates. I like the pastel coloring and well worn pages that are crinkled and have been folded again and again often in reverse directions than they were intended. Coffee stains remind me of stops at road side cafes, and a ripped map reminds me of the time I tore the map from my husbands hand and tossed it out the window! Pick up a map and you travel without leaving the room. I collect many things, but my favorite collection is my antique map collection which lines my hallway top to bottom in gorgeous gilt frames and home-made passe partout. <BR/>Thanks,<BR/>The Antiques DivaThe Antiques Diva™http://www.blogger.com/profile/08676716258714753895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-22342397254108171162008-10-22T11:01:00.000-04:002008-10-22T11:01:00.000-04:00This morning your wonderful maps flooded my mind w...This morning your wonderful maps flooded my mind with the memories.

Of course this is due to their high quality production: glossy paper that has a bit of heft, great plates and good resolution separations that result in great reproduction so you can see the detail, particularly on the maps. I sometimes scan the pages or maps and just take only those on the day of that particular trek. <BR/><BR/>I was given the walkpak after returning from Paris. They seem like a great concept. Just take one card, not a book.<BR/><BR/>I just love the business cards!<BR/><BR/>Many years ago I was contacted by a gentleman who is a member of a group of people who collect business cards. He had seen mine, which featured a graphic blk &amp; wt photo, and wanted one. Bet he would love that one for the toy store! They even had a newsletter/magazine. This was back in the late 70&#39;s I think. <BR/><BR/>I am sure we all would appreciate an illustrated report about the toy store when you have the time.<BR/><BR/>Peace.<BR/><BR/>Stef in sunny ChicagoSteverinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07713212685819342280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-24908048852945368072008-10-22T09:41:00.000-04:002008-10-22T09:41:00.000-04:00Ahhh....planning is half the fun!I have one of tho...Ahhh....planning is half the fun!<BR/><BR/>I have one of those little Moleskin books that I took with me last trip, but while compact, I found the map harder to use than my favorite, durable Berndtson &amp; Berndtson map.BJ Lanatzhttp://bjlantz.com/category/bj-lantz-creative-blah-blah-blah/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-87308101530380429672008-10-22T09:18:00.000-04:002008-10-22T09:18:00.000-04:00Great story.
